The display device 10 includes the first interconnections 110 and the second interconnections 140. The first interconnections 110 and the second interconnections 140 are disposed on the display substrate 100. The first interconnections 110 extend in the first direction DR1, and the second interconnections 140 extend in a second direction different from the first direction DR1. Extending directions of the second interconnections 140 are defined as the second direction for the purpose of ease and convenience in explanation. However, the extending directions of the second interconnections 140 are not necessarily parallel to each other, under the condition that the extending directions of the second interconnections 140 are different from the first direction DR1. In other words, the second interconnections 140 may extend in the same direction or may extend in different directions from each other, under the condition that the extending directions of the second interconnections 140 are different from the first direction DR1.

Additionally, the first interconnections 110 are connected to the second interconnections 140, and the first and second interconnections 110 and 140 receive driving signals from the driving circuit part 300.

A portion of the first interconnections 110 and a portion of the second interconnections 140 may be disposed on the bend portion 1000.

The first interconnections 110 include first bend interconnections 130 disposed on the bend portion 1000 and first non-bend interconnections 120 disposed on the non-bend portion 2000.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line I-I′ of FIG. 1 .

The bend portion 1000 is deformed with respect to the axis parallel to the first direction DR1. Thus, the fourth interconnections 163 receive tension generated by the bend portion 1000 such that cracks may occur in the fourth interconnections 163. Referring to FIG. 2 , the polarizing plate 200 covers the fourth interconnections 163 in the display device 10, so that the fourth interconnections 163 may be disposed in a neutral plane when viewed from a cross-sectional view. Since the fourth interconnections 163 are disposed in the neutral plane, the tension generated by the bend portion 1000 may be reduced. Thus, it is possible to reduce occurrence of the cracks of the fourth interconnections 163.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating exemplary embodiments of shapes of a protrusion region of a display device according to the invention. The protrusion region 230 of the polarizing plate 200 has a shape that covers the fourth interconnections 163 such that the fourth interconnections 163 are disposed in the neutral plane when viewed from a cross-sectional view.

In the display device 10 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the polarizing plate 200 covers the fourth interconnections 163 such that the fourth interconnections 163 are disposed in the neutral plane in a cross-sectional view. Thus, when the display device 10 is bent, the tension applied to the fourth interconnections 163 may be reduced. As a result, reduction of cracks that may occur in the fourth interconnections 163 is possible.

Next, another exemplary embodiment of a display device according to the invention will be described. Hereinafter, differences between the exemplary embodiments of the display devices will be mainly described in detail, and the same descriptions will be omitted or mentioned briefly for the purpose of ease and convenience in explanation.

As mentioned above, the protruding region 230 in the bend portion 1000 has shapes that cover the fourth interconnections 163 to locate the fourth interconnections 163 in the neutral plane when viewed from a cross-sectional view. The illustrated exemplary embodiment includes a protrusion in both the bend and non-bend portions 1000 and 2000. In contrast, the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 includes a protrusion in only the bend portion 1000, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The shapes of the first and second protrusions 231 and 233 may be selected from, but not limited to, a triangular shape, a quadrilateral shape, a polygonal shape, a circular shape, a semicircular shape and an elliptical shape. The first protrusion 231 and the second protrusion 233 of the polarizing plate 200 may have the same shape or may have different shapes from each other.

FIG. 5 shows the first interconnections 110 disposed on the bend portion 1000 as the first bend interconnections 130. However, the invention is not limited thereto. In other exemplary embodiments, the first interconnections 110 may also be disposed on the non-bend portion 2000, as the first non-bend interconnections 120, as shown in FIG. 1 . Similarly, FIG. 5 shows the second interconnections 140 disposed on the bend portion 1000 as the second bend interconnections 163. However, the invention is not limited thereto. In other exemplary embodiments, the second interconnections 140 may also be disposed on the non-bend portion 2000, as the second non-bend interconnections 150, as shown in FIG. 1 .

The polarizing plate 200 is disposed on the display substrate 100 and covers a portion of the first interconnections 110 and a portion of the second interconnections 140.

The protrusion region 230 of the polarizing plate 200 may include a first protrusion 231 protruding at a first end portion of the side of the quadrilateral region 210, and a second protrusion 233 protruding at a second end portion of the side of the quadrilateral region 210. That is, the protrusions of the polarizing plate 200 are disposed at each bend portion 1000, but the invention is not limited thereto.

In the display device 30 according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the polarizing plate 200 covers the fourth interconnections 163 such that the fourth interconnections 163 are disposed in the neutral plane in a cross-sectional view. Thus, the tension applied to the fourth interconnections 163 may be reduced when the display device 10 is bent. As a result, reduction of cracks that may occur in the fourth interconnections 163 is possible.

According to one or more exemplary embodiment of the invention, occurrence of cracks of the interconnections at a bend portion may be reduced or minimized.
